Iris kept walking around in this lady-like posture, and Lilia was too bored to sit in her chair and watch Iris quietly.

As soon as Iris made some mistakes in her walking posture, Lilia would point them out. Iris didn't dare have any complaints in her mind, and Lilia knew what was in her mind. Iris also understands the truth that people have to bow down under the eaves. After all, food and clothing are Lilia's, so do it all as a part-time job, and only think this way to feel better.

Four hours had passed, and Iris' posture was somewhat deformed. But she was trying to keep walking as much as possible.

"Are you tired?" Lilia's face was always smiling, but this smile gave Iris a bad feeling.

If she said she wasn't tired, the mother would definitely keep making herself walk until she said, "Tired". If Iris replied ‘ tired’, something bad would happen.

After some thought, Iris chose to face the bad thing. After all, it would come sooner or later.

"Of course I'm tired. Dear Mother, can I take a break?" Iris asked.

"Of course!" Lilia clapped her hands and a maid carried a chair and placed it beside Lilia.

"Sit!" Lilia gestured for Iris to sit beside her.

Iris couldn't believe it. Was it that easy for Lilia to get her to sit down? Iris was a little hesitant and walked to the chair beside Lilia and then sat down slowly.

"Sit elegantly and do not make any indecent movements."

"Yes." Iris replied breathlessly.

"The head should be upright, not shaking the head; the body sits straight, only about two-thirds of the chair surface. Do not lean on the back of the chair; hands can be gently placed on the thighs, knees, the armrests of the table or chair in front of the body, but never caught in the middle of the legs; knees must be together, calves and the ground vertical, or slightly inward. Crossing your legs, shaking your legs, crossing your legs are not in line with etiquette." Lilia explained, and then demonstrated for Iris the movements she described.

Iris could only sit as Lilia described, while Lilia corrected the sitting posture for Iris.

"From now on you will sit like this."

"Yes." Iris replied helplessly.

At noon, the aroma of meals wafted from the kitchen, and Iris was already very hungry.

"Well ... can I eat? After all, you know I didn't eat breakfast this morning."

"Of course!" Lilia's face again showed that indescribable smile.

Iris didn’t care about anything. After all, first to eat a full meal is the best, regardless of what manners. The big deal is to do as Lilia required. Iris did not run over in a hurry, but slowly walked towards the table. She knew that if she ran over in a hurry, she would not eat the food. Even if there was food, she would not eat the delicious food with its smell coming out from the kitchen.

Lilia is very satisfied with Iris' behavior, at least Iris is listening what she said earlier attentively.

After the two were seated, the two maids brought the cooked steaks and placed them in front of Lilia and Iris respectively.

Saliva filled Iris's mouth, but it was swallowed down by her. A delicious steak drizzled with blood must be delicious. Iris is not in a hurry to eat. She knows too well Lilia's intentions. If she starts to eat now, Lilia will definitely remove the steak and replace it with a different food.

Lilia held a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right. She then forked the meat from the left side with her fork, then cut the meat along the right side of the fork with her knife. She then directly put the meat into her mouth with her fork, smiling while chewing the steak in her mouth, without the sound of a reckless knife and fork hitting the plate, making her graceful and generous.

Iris followed Lilia's example and started to cut the steak the way Lilia did. But for the first time, the knife and fork made a little noise against the plate. The steak was cut a little too big by Iris, so she opened her mouth and swallowed it.

The juices in the steak splashed all over. Lilia did not get angry about it. She thought that Iris learned it in a good way, but she did not learn the essence.

So Lilia put down her knife and fork and made a figure of eight, then left her seat and came behind Iris.

“Don’t eat like this. Have a look!"

Lilia held Iris's delicate little hand and taught Iris the rites of the table step by step.

"The strength of the knife as it presses against the meat should be light, in order to cut the steak easily. First loosen your shoulders and fork the meat with a fork. Then gently and slowly move the knife back and forth. The point of force is when extending the knife out, not when pulling it back. If the meat cut off cannot be eaten in one bite, you can directly use the knife to cut it smaller again. Cut that just with a bite size meat and then send it into your mouth, so that no juice will be splashed on you. What you just did is rude. Since I have taught you, you must not commit it next time."

"Got it, Dear Mother." Iris replied.

Iris then began to eat the steak as Lilia had said. Although it looked elegant to dine in this way, there was always an unpleasant feeling in her heart.

Lilia returned to her seat and continued to eat her lunch. In a short while Lilia finished her steak and then put her knife and fork together on her plate. On the contrary, Iris has the steak still a large piece left. You can imagine that Lilia has been good at eating the steak with knife and fork.

"Sit upright when dining. Do not fiddle with cutlery, right knife and left fork. When eating a dish with bones, use a knife to remove the bones first, then cut into small pieces. Do not use your fingers to assist in dining. Use knife and fork when eating fruit. Temporarily leave, the knife and fork should be crossed or placed in a figure of eight. When the meal is finished, place knives and forks together on the plate with forks facing up. The attitude is not subservient, the demeanor is generous and dignified ..." Lilia explained to Iris about some table manners.

"If you don't do it properly, you will be punished~ what specific punishment depends on my mood. It may be more severe punishment than my thorny canes."

"Yes, Dear Mother." Iris replied helplessly.

The afternoon was spent practicing walking and sitting when she got tired, and the day's etiquette lessons were not over until after dinner.

Iris took a shower and flopped down on her bed, exhausted. Each day is simply unbearable. Iris first spent much effort practicing the swordplay, then she spent much mind to accepting the tedious etiquette, which Iris really can not bear.

In addition to the walking posture and sitting posture, Iris can not stand the table manners. Taking a knife and fork to cut the meat piece by piece, and putting the meat into the mouth with a fork too affect the efficiency of eating, rather than taking a fork directly to fork in the center of the steak, and then eat it a bite. In this way, it not only saves time, but also eats comfortably.

"Ugh~ Go to bed early. I have to continue my etiquette course tomorrow. I don't know when it’s the end." Iris sighed and went to sleep with her head covered.
